I get that it's opinion but this seems a strange one. We all love Cunners, but Boomer is a 4 time all-Australian and 5 time Syd Barker Medallist. Cunners has never been all-Aus and has 2 Syds playing in weaker teams.
I'll interpret "best" as meaning who would you pick playing at their best, rather than longevity.
1- Carey
2- McKernan
3- Boomer
4- Archer
5 - Stevens
If Boomer had played for Collingwood or Carlton he'd be spoken about in revered tones that acknowledged his Hall of Fame level of ability over and above his games played record.
